Death's Doings
Nicholas Aich
N. Aich, a well known resident of Stevens Point, died at his home on Strong's avenue at fifteen minutes after ten o'clock last Saturday forenoon. For the past two or three years he had been in poor health, and for the past two months had been confined to the house. Death was caused by consumption, which became greatly aggravated by an attack of the grip. During all of this time, he was a great sufferer, but bore up with a courage most remarkable. Mr. Aich was born at Thuernan, Hungaria, May 28th, 1847, where he received an excellent education, both in the schools of his native city, Vienna and other places. He came to this country in 1874, and soon thereafter entered the employ of the Wisconsin Central company, with whom he had been ever since, with the exception of two years spent in the hotel business at Waukesha. For the past five years he had held the position of storekeeper for the company in this city, and was always looked upon as being both efficient and faithful, and as untiring in his efforts for the welfare of the road as one in his position could be, even beyond that which his physical condition would often warrant. These facts are appreciated by those upon the road in higher authority, and many kind letters were received during his late illnes, tendering all possible assistance and hopes that he might recover sufficiently to seek a change of climate, with the prospect of improvement. It was along the latter part of November that he was finally compelled to remain at home, but it was only his remarkable ambition that enabled him to continue his duties as long as he did. The deceased gentleman was married twice, the first time in 1878, his wife dying in about eighteen months thereafter, and he was again married ten years ago. By his last union he leaves a wife and two children, a girl and boy, aged respectively 9 and 6 years. He also leaves a mother, two sisters and one brother in Europe and one brother, John Aich, at Waukesha, who was here at the funeral, and at intervals previous thereto. He was a man of good business ability, strictly honest in his dealings, one who merited the good reputation that he bore in the walks of life. He was a good citizen, conscientious neighbor, indulgent husband and kind father, and his early death is to be deplored.
The funeral took place from the residence at two o'clock Monday afternoon. The Central shops were closed down during this afternoon, that all might have an opportunity of attending the last rites, and out of respect to the memory of the deceased, upon an order issued by Master Mechanic Cormack. The funeral was one of the largest seen here in some time, with interment in the Episcopal cemetery. Rev. R. H. Weller officiated at the house and grave, and John Stumpf delivered some well chosen remarks upon the life of his deceased friend. The pall bearers were A. W. Neuman, Paul Roettger, Alex. Krembs, F. S. Nicholson, R. A. Cook and J. C. Frost. Many fine floral tributes were received, the most beautiful of which was a handsome pillow, bearing the word "rest" thereon, which was presented by his late associates at the store rooms. There are many kind friends who did everything possible for the deceased during his long illness, and did not forget the afflicted ones after death, and to these the wife, family and relatives feel under lasting obligations.
